This old well with a tin lid has been running without a retic controller. We are going to automate this old well in Morley.
We will fit an automatic reticulation controller and interface to the clients existing on/off switch. We then replace the manual bore valves (in the foreground of the picture) with automatic solenoid valves.
Hey presto, it will come on automatically and switch from front to rear lawns and it is fully programmable.
If we can help you with a similar issue or anything to do with your bore or reticulation contact one of our friendly team on 9246 0111 or go to our website HERE

working. A few calls today from people with the old well style bores that had lost prime after extended periods of no use. ( remember best to run them weekly for 2 minutes per station as allowed even during total sprinkl;er bans). Most likely a leaking check valve ( foot valve , clacker valve etc) or leaking gland packing. Not a worry for our Perth bore service teams. We specialize in bore repairs. Give us a call on 1300 734 300 for prompt and friendly service.
Today we had 3 calls from Perth customers with old well style bores. All had a similar story. They had not started their bores for quite a while and the pumps had lost prime. This indicates that most likely there is a slow leak in the check valve. No problems we can fix it…but it is wise to start thse old bores at least weekly. This is permitted up to 2 minutes per station for testing purposes during the Perth winter sprinkler bans.
